Lugo and Lowrie

ST LOUIS, MO–In the wake of Alex Rodriguez’s revelation, St. Louis Cardinals first baseman and superstar extraordinaire Albert Pujols called a press conference today to come clean.

Next Saturday, June 1st, the First Annual United Baseball Blogger Mock Draft will take place and I (representing Hot Foot) will be making the selections for the Mets. Erik from Future Redbirds, a St. Louis Cardinals blog, was kind enough to help organize it and some of the better baseball blogs out there will be representing their respective teams, such as Athletics Nation (Oakland), Bryan

While Joe Posnanski's cover story in the March 16 issue of SI paints Albert Pujols as a God-fearing, baseball-loving family man, he also notes that one of Pujols' most cherished relationships was founded on a bed of lies.

It never ceases to amaze me, the St. Louis Cardinals always exceed my expectations.  Each year is the year they finally crack.  And it never happens.  And it doesn't get less annoying.  Or worrisome.  Still, the news never gets better for them.  Today, Chris Carpenter was transferred to the 60-day DL.  August, September, perhaps February.  He'll be back in one of those...

The 2006 World Series team is almost nowhere to be seen on the upcoming 2008 St. Louis Cardinals. Another thing that is nowhere to be seen is off season patrol; and what I mean by that is, the Cardinals front office is taking a step back and allowing Houston and Chicago [Cubs] to get better. Losing ...

Happ is 5-6 with a 3.54 ERA for the Iron Pigs, and leads the International League in strikeouts with 104.

One month ago, if you had told me that Coco Crisp and Julio Lugo would lead the Sox to a 3 game winning streak, I probably would have suggested that you ought to put that pipe down. If you had said that the Sox would score 31 runs in 4 games, I might have driven you to rehab myself.In addition to pl...

It was a tough weekend for the Boston Red Sox as yesterday they lost Dustin Pedroia for a few days, lost Julio Lugo for a month and were swept by the Baltimore Orioles in the weekend series. Not that it matters at this time of year but the Orioles did sweep the Red Sox in [...]
